HC 6
Atmospheric drone-y electronic soundscape with church bell samples and orchestral strings. A vast, sustained plain of sound with flickers of electronics, church bell samples anchored by slowly shifting orchestral strings. Calm, tranquil, hopeful, serene and cinematic, suitable for a film/TV moment of reflection or transition, or an epic ad, evoking a mystical time.
Dancing Near the Nile
Eclectic orchestral blockbuster featuring middle Eastern style violin, electric guitar, harp and chorus. Seductive percussion and snaking violin and flute intertwine over a booming timpani and subtle electric guitar. Orchestral strings add drama and intrigue. Dark electric guitar gives way to a harp and vocal segment before an epic orchestral finale complete with dramatic chorus. Dramatic, emotional, historic, ancient, evokes a sense of awakening, the sun emerging from behind clouds after centuries, calling up mystical figures of yore. Perfect for film and TV epics.
Seeking the Gold of Aztecs
An epic orchestral journey evoking the spirit of ancient empires. Sustained strings set the scene, followed by folk-inspired flute, a driving violin motif, louder sustained strings, dynamic percussion, and additional strings providing a dramatic bass line. Urgent, dramatic and mystical, this track evokes an indigenous people under attack from machines and guns, Avatar-style, but standing strong and united in the face of persecution.
Fool’s Paradise
Chilled bleepy electronic slow jam. Underwater synth chords joined by drums and bongo samples. Flute-like synth samples flit overhead, adding a tropical colour. 90s hip hop drums and a bassy synth line add depth. After a drum break with flute samples, the silvery synth returns. Cool, mysterious and a little bit playful, perfect for ads for a fresh new product or a trippy, surreal or exotic film/TV sequence.
Atonement Pass
Dissonant and cloudy, a crying lament of strings that successfully combines early classical 1900s influences with modern day film scoring. It has four definite sections that alternate relaxation with excitement. It will suit period dramas with complex characterisations but also possibly otherworldly and supernatural settings. Atonement. Downton Abbey if it had more balls.
Chilled Atmospheric Bliss
Ethereal and delicate, a relaxing episode of synths and organs that is both looking at the inner and outer side of your character. Blissful and gently flowing up in a sky made of pink streams of consciousness, will suit utopian sci-fi and fantasy settings.
Blue Valentine
Playful with a dreamy edge, a delicate ensemble of synths that evoke a sense of futuristic exertion and in some sense an inevitable acceptance of the randomness of events. Like a child of Rutger Hauer’s Nexus 6 playing with its toys in a semi dark sitting room.
Percussion Experiments
Magical and dreamy, with an ethereal celeste and orchestral percussions that create a compelling mix of childish playfulness and a confident rhythmical manner. It will suit well 30 seconds adverts. A sense of discovery for a mysterious world where children with magical powers play with castles made of sand.
Pensive Wait
Light and repetitive, with a slight Asian flavour given by the instrumentation and a mysterious ostinato played by a filtered glockenspiel. It has a synthetic edge that takes away any human element from the performance, making it robotic and repetitive, almost hypnotic. Yet, it does not evoke a particular sense of danger or deceit.
